Drama 9

Drama develops the whole person — emotionally, physically, intellectually, imaginatively, aesthetically and socially.  Drama classes foster positive group interaction as students learn to make accommodations in order to pursue shared goals.  Dramatic growth parallels the natural development of the student and is encouraged in a non-competitive atmosphere that is cooperative, supportive, joyful yet challenging.

Drama 10/20/30

The Winston Churchill Highschool Drama  program is for anyone and everyone! Drama is a great place to meet friends, connect with others, and develop a stronger understanding of ones self. In Drama 10 students will be given the opportunity to explore various units of Drama such as improv, tech theatre, theatre history, voice, and movement. In Drama 20/30 students will focus on the Drama production as a whole. Students will be given the opportunity to take their skills from Drama 10 and apply them to a long form Drama production project. Projects could include an improv show, a one act, a radio play - the opportunities are endless! Most of Drama 20/30 is based upon student choice.
